The CARLI Voyager system, I-Share, will be taken offline for all libraries from midnight until 6am Wednesday, October 2, to apply an emergency fix to a database index. During the outage VuFind will be available for searching the local and union catalogs, but VuFind will not be able to display item status information, nor will it support access to patron account records or the placing of requests.
During the outage Voyager staff client access will be limited to the Offline Backup function of the circulation client only. CARLI’s batch jobs that run circulation notices and the Voyager request promotion service will not run tonight; those data will be picked up in the batch run the following night. Other services such as SFX and discovery services that query Voyager will also be affected by this outage.
While we have successfully applied the fix on our test server, there is a slight risk that our work tonight may fail to resolve the problem. If that is the case, downtime may extend into the day on Wednesday.
We will continue to keep everyone updated.
